Over October I thought I'd hace a little fun and watched a slasher movie a day. every day I had another person select the film of their choice from collection. It was great fun and I'd recommend it to anyone.
I was pretty regid in my rules of what ever got picked I HAD to watch. This led to me watching a few I probably never would have watched again and actually really made me appreciate hem much more.
It's statistics time people...

2012 was the year that the most slasher films came from of any one year, which totalled 4.
2010, 2011 and 1981 were runners up with 3 slasher films each
The most films from any 5 year period was easily the 14 that came from between 2008 and 2012
2765 minutes was the total number of time spent watching slasher films over 31 days.
Which is just over 46 hours or nearly 2 full days.
109 minutes was the longest slasher movie, The Bloodstained Shadow aka Solamante Nero.
61 minutes was the shortest slasher movie, Drive-In Massacre as it was the TV edit.
18 of the films were produced by the USA, which was easily the most prolific region.
Of the remaining productions 7 were co financed by various different countries.
6 of those co productions were also part financed by the USA.
The remaining countries of origin are as follows...
2 from Italy
1 from Ireland
1 from UK
1 from Hong Kong
1 from Canada
1 co production from UK & Australia
3 of the movies featured special make up and effects by Tom Savini.
Now for a few fun spoiler free grizzly halloween stats...
10 of the Killers from the 31 slasher movies wore masks.
18 of the 31 films I could find approximate bodycounts for...
163 victims
Of which,
80 were male victims
83 were female
20 ft square is the average size of a grave
Which means the combined carnage of these movies is...
3260 square feet of graves
3 hours was the average time to dig a grave by hand
Which means it would take...
489 hours to dig their graves or over 20 full days.
432 callories per hour digging holes which would mean...
211248 callories would be burnt in total.
Which is equal to...
6213 bags of treat size Haribo. (A heck of a lot of doors to knock on next Halloween.)
2, the number of thumbs of the guy who wrote this that enjoys slasher movies! (Points to self with thumbs)
Until next year slashfans...
